The following server implements a good portion of the current draft OpenAPI document for OGC API - Records. This is a very rough implementation and still needs quite a bit of work but feel free to play with it.
I have currently harvested a bunch of RADARSAT metadata and will shortly have harvested all the SENTINEL-1 metadata that is available on AWS.

The ArcGIS Pro CSW Client has been updated to include initial support for OGC API Records. Details may be found on the Geoportal Server wiki, the Visual Studio project to build the Pro addin is available in the Components section of the Geoportal Server github repo.

GeoNetwork is a java/xml oriented catalogue application. As part of an ongoing effort, the GeoNetwork API component is extended to support OGC API Records. The work in progress is available at geonetwork/geonetwork-microservices#23.
GeoNetwork has a concept of sub-portals. In the OGC API Records implementation these subportals are available as collections of records. GeoNetwork uses an Elastic Search backend, supporting a configurable set of queryables. Records are available in various encodings, such as text/html, application/geo+json, application/dcat.ld+json, application/iso19139+xml, application/iso19115-3+xml, application/dublin-core+xml, application/datacite+xml, through the accept-header mechanism. The html encoding of records contains an embedded schema-org json-ld snippet to facilitate search engines. A Sitemap endpoint is available to notify the search engine of available records.
GeoNetwork supports basic authentication, but can also be set up with alternative authentication mechanisms to facilitate autorisation on subsets of records.
ldproxy supports (most of) the core/cql/json/html conformance classes of the current draft of OGC API Records.
A sample instance with enumerations and codelists from the data specification of the German mapping and cadastral authorities for topographic, cadastral, geodetic, land use and land cover data ("GeoInfoDok NEU") is available at https://demo.ldproxy.net/geoinfodok. Sample URLs are shown below, to override content negotiation use f=html for HTML and f=json for JSON.
